We finally come to one of the last posts of [Project Uptime](https://kudithipudi.org/project-uptime/). Now that all the components have been setup, I finally copied the wordpress directory from my old server to the new one. The only changes, I had to make after copying the files were

1. Configure Apache to have the wordpress folder as the default directory. I did this by changing the DocumentRoot option in the vhost
2. Changed the permissions on the wordpress directories (so that wordpress can make rewrite rule changes on the fly)

```
sudo chmod -v 664 $WORDPRESS_DIRECTORY/.htaccess
sudo chmod 755 $WORDPRESS_DIRECTORY/wp-content
```
